Low rent identity theft?
Posted Under: Credit
Last year I held a job w/ a government agency where I would have access to sensitive information about the clients. I have since then resigned and am currently employed somewhere else.
But here’s the problem. I been contacted by a client of that agency claiming that I’ve stolen her or some of her neighbors information for personal use. First of all, I didn’t. Second these persons wouldn’t be the most ideal to commit theft against. They don’t have much income, it’s a low rent program ($50-300) monthly, and I would have had access to other programs with better canidates. I mean clients actually working and in the process of purchasing homes. The people harassing me live in the projects.
I would like some advice on how to handle this situation. I want to protect myself against any bull. I have not done anything wrong and really am not taking this all that serious but I want to do something if possible to end the harassment. Thanks in advance for your help.

If the former client gets in contact with you again, I’d tell them to prove that it was you that stole the information. My guess is they won’t be able to. That should shut them down cold. They probably want to extort $ out of you with an idle threat.
Get a restraining order.
call the police, they are trying to extort you
